The shared center — held across the tradition
Matter, sickness and death are errors of belief, not facts about the world.
God is All-in-all and God is Mind, so what is real is mental and spiritual; the material universe reported by the five senses is a misapprehension. Sickness is therefore not a condition to be fought but an error to be seen through, and healing is correction rather than cure.

This is a science, and it is meant to be demonstrated.
The claim is not that God may grant a cure if petitioned but that the method Jesus used is repeatable, teachable and available now. That word — demonstration — is why the church publishes testimonies with verification requirements and why the failure of a case is read as a failure of understanding rather than of the system.
